Cases

Petitioners appeal the circuit court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of respondents in a case involving the propriety of an annexation of property by minor boundary adjustment pursuant to West Virginia Code § 8-6-5. Petitioners contend that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment to respondents as the property at issue was not subject to annexation by minor boundary adjustment. Petitioners further argue that the circuit court erred in finding that the annexation was made in compliance with West Virginia Code § 8-6-5; that the annexation did not constitute a public nuisance; that the annexation was not in the best interests of Nicholas County; and that the annexation was not a taking of property without compensation.
